Ooooouuuuuuucccccchhhhhhh
Ouch.....the biopsy hurt.....my god...i'm a whimp...lol
Well, not much went on today. Just got cut on. They deadend the "skin" only.....cut thru it, then got to the muscle........ and Dr. Plaitez picked the left bicept, as this was where the first atrophy was and she noticed it was smaller....
It's amazing now all of a sudden the dr's are interested in the smaller muscles i've been showing them for 9 months.
so, got to the muscle....then....she cut 5 samples out....2 on top of muscle, one in between and one at "bottom", near the elbow and one under the muscle....
Let me tell you....IT HURTS. MY God again...... They cannot deaden the muscle and she cut each piece about 1 cm sq. with sizzors(sp.). and it felt just like someone cutting your muscle out without it being deadend....just as it was. I liked to jumped off the table.
Ok, enought about being a whimp.....
Results in 2 - 4 weeks. Neuro still thinks it's not ALS, but something bad thought, hopefully treatable.
Thanks to all of you for your support, you know i will be there when you need me.
i cant type no more, my arm hurts and will be swollen like a blowfish tomorrow.
rgds,
